Anhurak Jason Dej-Oudom

Anhurak Jason Dej-Oudom was a nine-year-old boy who lived in Las Vegas with his family. Public records and news reporting identify him as a student of Culley Elementary School earlier in 2016. Though he was young, Anhurak held the everyday roles that make childhood meaningful: a son, a brother, and a member of his neighborhood community.

Those who taught and saw him at school remembered him as a young student in the Clark County School District. Community accounts after June 29, 2016, make clear that Anhurak’s daily life included school, family routines, and the ordinary small moments that shape a child’s world. He was part of a close family unit that had moved between states before settling in Las Vegas, and his presence was woven into the lives of his siblings and parents.

Public records and reporting about the family also show that Anhurak’s mother took steps to protect her children shortly before the family’s deaths; these details highlight that the adults around him were trying, in their own ways, to secure safety and stability for the children. While official sources document the tragic end of his life on June 29, 2016, that date is only one part of Anhurak’s story. He was first and foremost a child with a life — a daily routine of school and family — and a place in the hearts of those who knew him.

Because available public sources do not publish a family-authorized obituary or detailed personal remembrances for Anhurak, this brief life story focuses on what can be respectfully verified: his age, his school connection, and his role within his family. Though records are limited, it is important to remember that Anhurak was a real child whose short life had value beyond the public record. This page honors him as a young boy who was loved by his family and who belonged to a community that noticed his absence.
